I’ve got a tarantula and scorpion, but this would be my first time keeping a centipede so I’d appreciate if anyone can give general tips they’ve learned through experience
A friend of mine gave me their scorpion recently, mainly because i have a tarantula they’d assume i can handle a scorpion, and i’m not that well known in general scorpion keeping.
Mainly I need help with identifying if a scorpion is healthy, in molt, or dead, idk if scorpions have a death curl like tarantulas so hence why i asked.
My friend did mention the scorpion is a female and is suspected to be pregnant, which also i do need some help with how to manage the slings in case she is pregnant.
So the exotic pets store i got these from had Powdered blue/orange isopod label on the enclosure, after talking to the clerk they said the label was an old label and they were just reusing the old enclosure to house these isopods. Essentially even they couldn’t remember what the isopod that was housed within it.
Apologies if i am using the wrong flair, i’m under assumption the help flair is for serious cases/concerns only
kitten, laceration on the epidermis on inner thigh. kitten is active and can move just fine with no complications, edge of the wound looks to have healed (no bleeding) but the wound is still open.
sutures used:
- simple continuous (came loose after 1 day)
- horizontal mattress (came loose after 1 day)
- simple interrupted (came loose after 2 day and 12 hours)
Main concern is to close the opening to prevent foreign material from entering.
